Wolfenstein Hits UK Top Spot

Wolfenstein: The New Order has blasted its way to the top of the UK Official All Formats Chart in its debut week, holding off a strong charge from Minecraft: PS3 Edition and pushing the reinvigorated FIFA 14 down to the number three spot. Wolfenstein topped the single format Xbox One and Xbox 360 charts, too, it should be noted.

In a relatively slow week for the chart, that's about all she wrote. Next week should shake things up a little bit though, with Mario Kart 8 and Watch_Dogs making their chart debut. We'd imagine that Ubisoft's open worlder will hit the top and Mario...well...that could finish anywhere. It'll be interesting to see, that's for sure.

I'm actually really enjoying Wolfenstein. The mechanics are very smooth, MUCH smoother than I anticipated. I daresay they outdid Call of Duty on this one. And the story is surprisingly enjoyable as well. It's just an all around good game. Not an epic game. Certainly won't win any GotY awards. But it's good.

And I gotta brag on this one, but I scored this the day BEFORE release for $22.99 US. It was $60 at Best Buy, but they offered $20 in reward certificates for pre ordering (usually they just do $10 for big releases, but this got $20 for some reason), then I got 20% off as a Gamer's Club Unlocked member, THEN I got an email with a $5 credit because they ran short on the Panzerhund miniature figure that came with pre orders. Effectively taking the price down to $22.99, and arrived one day before it released. Talk about a deal!
